Beautifully-Styled Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) Bonsai with Excellent Shape

This is the exact Hornbeam bonsai that you will receive!

This is a stunning Hornbeam bonsai, meticulously crafted and exceptionally resilient. Its bark presents a unique sight, smooth yet decorated with striking silver-grey vertical lines. In spring, male catkins grace its branches, while the persistent bracts from the fruit endure through winter. By August, the female catkin bears fruit, though small and small nuts.

In folklore, the Hornbeam symbolises strength, owed to its robust wood. Legends once glorified tonics brewed from its leaves for their supposed ability to fight fatigue and exhaustion. Known as “ironwood” for its density that would swiftly dull saws, the Hornbeam embodies resilience, urging us to assert confidence and exercise both physical and intellectual ability. It signals us to liberate ourselves from self-imposed limitations and pursue our aspirations whole-heartedly. The Hornbeam stands as a testament to enduring strength.

We offer free next working day on all bonsai. Alternatively, you can choose your preferred delivery date at the checkout. You have the option to add any gifting extras including gift wrap, balloons, and personalised hanging tags once you add the bonsai to the basket. You will also receive a care guide with tips, general variety information and symbolism with each bonsai.
